Monthly Fee: $135
There are also the following annual fees:
USA - Swimming registration: $61/year
ICE Equipment fee: $75/year
Meet fees are assessed on a per-meet basis and are in the neighborhood of $30 per meet
About the Fees:
Practice Fees: Pay for pool time and coaches’ salaries.
Equipment Fees: Chlorine and water are especially hard on necessary swim equipment. This fee supports the upkeep of timing equipment, computers, lane lines and any other equipment necessary to maintain the sport.
USA-S registration fees: ICE is registered through USA Swimming, our national governing body. For insurance reasons, swimmers cannot practice beyond the trial period until this fee is paid.
We rely on fundraising to help keep our costs down and our sport affordable for all. For this reason, we ask families each season to fundraise $125 for families with a single athlete, and $175 for families with 2+ swimmers. In an effort to make this easy, ICE provides many fundraising opportunities over the course of the year. There are also families who prefer to make a donation rather than engage in fundraising.
